To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!

Ok.. I think I understand that no fuse is better than a cheap fuse. And a good fuse is better than a cheap fuse. But is no fuse better than the best fuse?

One person on Audiogon said that he achieved better sound by using a Blue fuse over no fuse. I guess my question is... Do these new, high dollar fuses just allow the current to flow better with solid protection or do they actually due to quantum physics or something, actually improve upon the signal by eliminating errant bad electrons and thereby actually improving the music over no fuse at all?

I gots to know!

Just for the record, 60 Hz AC changes polarity and consequently direction 120 times per second. During each 60 Hz cycle the waveform goes from negative to positive and also from positive to negative.

However energy is conveyed in only one direction, from source to load, putting aside reflection effects that occur mainly at RF frequencies.

"as readily as witnessing deities displayed in their breakfast toast".

you made my morning. sadly, being gluten sensitive, my chances of discovery are lessened.

Let's remember to clean the fuses. Contact cleaner (what brand?), Spit Shine? What to eat or how long to fast prior to spit shine? Dry with what cloth? Circular wipe? Direction, relative to the equator! 

I'm going back to my cave now.
